In Writing Sentences

Here's a thought of the moment guide in writing sentences. These are questions you can ask while trying to write a "tight" piece. Here are the questions:

1. VOCABULARY - Are you using appropriate and meaningful words?
2. PART OF SPEECH - Are you using words that are fitted according to its function?
3. PUNCTUATION - Are you using the correct punctuation marks?
4. SENTENCE KIND - What kind of sentence is it?
5. PATTERN- Does it have agreement among its subject, verb and object? What about the peripherals (adjectives, adverbs, and verbals)?
6. THOUGHT - Does it have a logical sense?
